It says stainless.
I understand but seen the pictures and can see the tooling marks which is indication of chromed over and not stainless but the pictures iv'e seen could be older pictures and not what actually came to market and or the design changed.
I figure Gormly would know one way or other as he has them and can tell.

Edit : also does the top cap airhole line up with 1 of those wick holes, it sure can be a vaping monster with those 2 wick holes next to the ground posts.

The AGA looks like a metal tank. When will they learn?
Why all these folks chose to copy the clumsy, multi-part DID in the first place is beyond me.

wonder if the clear tanks work on them also?
No. The tanks ends are threaded like a VIVI Nova. And the way the o-rings sit, right up against the fittings I doubt a clear tube could be added.

I greased the top o-ring with silicone (the cap and bottom both fit over them in a depression). It needs a litrtle muscle but mine lines up. Sanding down the cap doesn't really help.


Is the AGA stainless or chromed over metal ?
It appears to be full SS, they should have shaved the top a bit. It's very heavy. These things have no need to have so much metal on them.

The one I got (from another source) did not come with 3 knurled nuts, just two, skinny ones plus the smallest nut I've ever seen.

Here in 5th picture . Hold mouse over it and it will give a closeup of it.
Now by looking at all 5 pictures i see 2 different models of it cause the knurl on both is different.
AGA Hydra - Rebuildable Atomizer - Stainless


the last two pictures were from the manufacturer, the first two are from me. the last two were placehlders until I got mine up just hadn't deleted them yet.

This is stainless and there are no tool marks :)

The air hole does not line up against the wick, but this is easily rectified as it has a bit of leeway in the tightening it seems. I did some tests turned it a bit, no leaks and was on pretty solid.

For the question of why so much metal... because we can't win..we get a thin metal tank chromed brass etc.. everyone asks for stainless.. we get a stainless, some people say but why? :)

Different strokes.

For me, looks and feels great on a lambo lol, I could knock someone out with this setup!

for the question on the clear tubing..stay tuned, more things are a comin'
(but no the griffin tubes will not fit this is a lot bigger.)

This is entirely stainless and there are no tool marks :)

I will see what I can do and by that I mean.. most likely.. But I have other beauties coming in also, so it will be next order.
and it will be like the griffin, just a dollar or two for the clear tank, depending on what they charge me. I haven't tested yet if any other tanks fit, so it might fit something else. not sure yet, I have too many orders to check tonight.


I am kinda ...... about the tubes in general though, I didn't actually see what they charged me for the metal tube extra for the griffin and now I have to charge almost 4 bucks for a silly tube of metal...won't let that happen again, that should be no more than 2.00!
